Can Blogger SEO be as Effective as Wordpress?

I have always used Blogger and find it much easier and faster than WordPress. WordPress seems very confusing, difficult and complicated to me. However, I did try switching to WordPress, because I heard that it had more capabilities, including plug-ins. For example, there is an "all-in-one" SEO package that works with WordPress. I think that this, and similar things help with site promotion and getting a lot of traffic. But what if I decide to stay with Blogger? Will I be able to optimize it as well as WordPress and get as many visitors? This is a major concern beyond the simplicitiy. Please advise, thanks.

1. Blogger is incredibly limited, especially when it comes to your ability to self-promote, do SEO, etc. Plus, a vast majority of spam blogs are hosted at Blogger and you don't want your blog being associated with that. I had trouble switching to Wordpress for about a week or two, but eventually came to find WP to be much easier than Blogger. And, as you mention, there are numerous plug-ins that are SEO-friendly, as well as many SEO-friendly themes you can use on Wordpress. When consulting with clients, I insist they use Wordpress and can't help them nearly as much if they're on a different platform. Hope this helps.
2. The best thing about wordpress is it can be integrated into your website which makes it extremely handy. It is even better when you have the right plug-ins and add-ons. If you are struggling with wordpress, I would advise you to check out some wordpress tutorials on youtube.
